The Academy's New York campus is
right on Madison Avenue, in a landmark
building designed by acclaimed
architect Stanford White. The six story
structure has classrooms, rehearsal
halls, dance studios, dressing rooms,
a prop department and production
workshop, a costume department,
a library and a student lounge. Three
theatres — a 169-seat proscenium
theatre, a 164-seat thrust-stage theatre
and an arena-style theater seating 103 —
are used for classes and rehearsals as
well as full productions.
The library is designed to serve the
specific needs of those studying acting.
It houses a comprehensive collection
of books, scripts, plays, musical scores,
video and audio tapes, plus a variety
of reference materials on every aspect
of theatre. In addition, the library
contains a language/speech lab,
listening and viewing stations for audio
tapes, videos, DVDs, and CDs as well as
computers with internet access.
And then there's New York City, home
to the country's most vibrant arts and
theatre scene; with galleries, museums,
Lincoln Center, Broadway shows and
countless Off Broadway productions
playing year round. In recent years, New
York has also become home to an
increasing number of film productions
and New York-based television series.
On any given day, regular New Yorkers
are co-existing with film and television
crews on streets and in neighborhoods
all over the city.
